gollark: I have it set up now to redirect "/cgi-bin/ViewLog.asp" ones to osmarks internet radio™.

gollark: Sadly, no more bots have decided to send me requests.

gollark: Wait, I have a fun idea: I could edit the server configuration so when someone requests one of the exploit paths/has a botnetty user agent, it sends them the infinitely long osmarks internet radio™ stream instead.

gollark: ```<> 96.69.158.193 [07/Jun/2020:17:19:21 +0000] "POST /boaform/admin/formPing HTTP/1.1" 400 157 "-" "polaris botnet"```This is kind of funny. This even says it's a botnet in the user agent.
